Admiration of Apes

3/10/20: Fed everyone. They are looking great. Smell is still nominal, but I'm sure they will be kicking into overdrive once the new air intake is installed. The cooler air being blown in should be a great reducer of the air temperature. Increased exhaust flow certainly won't be causing any negative effects. 4/10/20: Day 81/25 Plants are looking amazing. The smell of them combined is most excellent. Badazz has little smell from the rubbed trichomes. OG White smells like a typical strong cannabis strain. Super Skunk Kush smells like a mixture of cleaning chemicals, but not in a bad way. Respect 4 Gorilla smells very sweet and fruity right now, I didn't expect that at all. I know the profiles will change as they fully develope, it's just fun to see how they smell during maturation. The colas are all developing nicely, with the Badazz still being the slowest. As the Seedsman strains are listed as being a week to twelve days longer in flower, I plan on a somewhat staggered harvest. The Gorilla and Skunk Kush will be harvested and dried upstairs in the Budroom. While the rest fully ripen, I can begin the auto cure for the first batch. Initial smoke report will be tested and given before the cure begins. I like to know exactly what the difference is between dried and cured. 5/10/20: Fed everyone, finally keeping up with the schedule I want. I might need to start going with a larger dosage, as they were quite dry today. I will only go with another gallon of water, that way they only get an additional litre, making it 3 each, and I can see how that goes. The smell is becoming a little stronger each day, but still not too powerful. The White OG has taken over the lead in most covered in trichomes. Really living up to its name so far. Badazz still looks good, just nowhere near as frosty as the others. 7/10/20: I was going to water everyone today, but they are all still holding a fair amount of moisture. The Super Skunk Kush and Respect 4 Gorilla are heavier than The White OG and Badazz OG Cheese, I'm going to assume it's because they are located further away from the fan, as opposed to directly in front of it. All buds are looking great, nice accumulation of trichomes. I'm going to pick up the final pieces needed to setup new exhaust. I was going to do it yesterday, but realized the lip on the new fan is very short, with virtually no room to get the hose taped on. So, I'm going to the Depot to get some 6 inch pipe clamps. It's much cleaner than using Gorilla tape anyhow. Also, it should make a tighter seal, as yesterday I noticed the old taped ducting is leaking air in some places. Will only cost a few dollars, but should easily be worth it.
